Dahlin! It's the Jeanne Little Show performed with great aplomb by Melbourne performer, Caroline Ferguson, moves seamlessly from story to song and back again. Jeanne’s humble beginnings raised by a single mum, her youthful years in London, her successful and loving marriage to interior designer, Barry Little, the many famous people she met along the way and her attempts to be both mother and TV star are all delightfully covered. The stories are wrapped in warmth, with Jeanne’s own brand of zany and irrepressible humour always present.
This high energy and audience friendly show also has a fantastic batch of hit songs from many eras. Shirley Bassey, Marlene Dietrich, Anne Murray, Lulu and many others compliment the narrative and help tell the full story of an Australian icon who did things her way.
Jeanne Little found great success through hard work, perseverance and an irresistible love for life to take her honoured place in Australian entertainment history.
